  • Hard News: Oh Dear ...,

    Collins is just trying to get her 15 column inches of fame.

    That's all the opposition does. Speaking of which, where the heck is John Key in all of this?? Has he got an opinion (Havoc brought this up with Russ on bFM yesterday - I think it's a mighty good question)

  • Speaker: Part 6: Why We Lose,

    ...then you've really got to sit in front of a decent game early on.

    Well - so much for waiting. Talk about luck of the Irish.

  • Hard News: Kids these days,

    Web 2.0: I have a serious bugbear about that term. It is purely a buzz word - these ideas around 'social interactivity' ignore the fact that the entire web is (almost by definition) a form a social interactivity. Web 2.0 is a code word for mainstream types who are only now discovering the wonder of "digging" a "blog", like teenagers discovering Led Zeppelin for the first time and letting everyone know about it.

    And Myspace? I hate that Myspace is used as a prime example of a Web 2.0 application. Myspace looks positively beta to anyone at all! It's a poorly made hack of a website - the only reason it is held up as the shining light of the future of the web (__shudder__) is it's size.

  • Hard News: That's Entertainment,

    I suspect that people who install ad-blocking software have no intention on clicking on web adverts - so the benefits are two-fold: they don't have to see the ad, and you don't have to waste resources serving it.

    Oh, but so much more than a band.

    We've got a bunch of their more recent books - (Viralliset Palat 2001, Varallisuus On Ilomne 2001 & Virallisuus Tai Henki 2002)

  • Island Life: Internet the way you want it,

    Although with the 'gentrification' of the area (I do like Farro...) I might have to make the move to Panmure! :P

    Perhaps not surprisingly, DSL speeds are pretty good in Sunny G.I.
